Valentine's Chair Backer

This weekend, the stars were aligned and naps coincided with a couple of heavenly hours to try out a new-for-me pattern.  I made these chair backers using fourteen may's pattern.

I used cream corduroy and Valentine's fabric for the heart and liner.  When I perfect my cursive embroidery skills, I will stitch the girls' names. {I recently received a copy of Scandinavian Stitches which features a number of projects using stitching and cursive writing, so I am really drawn to that now}.  Sadly, that skill set is not going to be acquired in the next couple of weeks.  So these are our chair backers.  When my husband saw them he asked, what is this - some sort of Valentine's stocking????

Have a great week my friends and be sure to check out all the great projects at,
